Since I watched “The Naked Man” episode of the popular comedy show “How I Met Your Mother”, I’ve been trying to recreate the list that the show’s cast made about the 50 reasons to have sex. On the show, they only said a few so I wasn’t able to make the list just by watching. And just as I was about to give up, guess what I found?... The list!! The picture of the list may be hard to read from so I’ve taken the liberty to list it out clearly. Have fun... My personal favourite is #2, and of course #50 as well.

Anyways, for those of you who don’t know about the show, or who have not yet got around to start watching it, here’s a little summary of what it is about. How I Met Your Mother is a comedy about Ted (Josh Radnor) and how he fell in love. It all starts when Ted's best friend, Marshall (Jason Segel), drops the bombshell that he's going to propose to his long-time girlfriend, Lily (Alyson Hannigan), a kindergarten teacher. At that moment, Ted realizes that he had better get a move on if he too hopes to find true love. Helping him in his quest is Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), a friend with endless, sometimes outrageous opinions, a penchant for suits and a foolproof way to meet women. When Ted meets Robin (Cobie Smulders), he's sure it's love at first sight, but destiny may have something else in store. The series is narrated through flashbacks from the future. It’s worth watching.
